There were big boulders in the anchoring field (think VW car size) on the bottom and you needed to be careful when the wind shifted to not get wrapped around one of these and short-scoped. The island was terrific and they had the best bull “fight” of the archipelago that we saw.<br/>My best, Dick Stevenson, s/v Alchemy<br/>Wed, 04 Sep 2019 09:35:08 GMTDick
